Chapter 2281

Several elders gathered on a mountain peak in the distance.

Among them were James’ teacher, Yoan, and Hayden’s teacher, Jeffery.

lettery looked at Yoan beside him and said calmly. “Elder Yoan, is this your new disciple? He looks a

little arrogant, thinking he can take three moves from Hayden”

Yoan smiled tauntly He was confident in Jannes After James consumed the Helios Pill, his physical

strength improved a lot. Moreover, James also cultivated in the Ancient Clan’s Pagoda of Flames for

half a year

In actuality, Yoan did not really know James’ exact strength From his observation, James’ physical

strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, so it would not be difficult for him to withstand

three moves from Hayden

“Although James is young, he has great potential He has the greatest potential out of all the newly

recruited disciples I believe he’ll fare well in the Grand Tournament. He might even enter the top ten

Yoan was optimistic about James.

“Haha,” Jeffery chuckled

Yoan had confidence in James, but Jeffery also had faith in Hayden.

“How about we make a bet?” Jeffery said with a smile.

Yoan agreed. “Sure. What are we betting on?”

Jeffery said, “We’ll bet on whether James can withstand Hayden’s three moves. If he succeeds and can

still stand up, then I lose. It he can’t stand up and completely loses combat power, then you lose. Since

we’re just playing around, how about the loser slaps himself three times?” Hearing this, Yoan’s mouth

twitched

Yoan knew Jeffery had been dissatisfied with him since long ago but never expected him to suggest

such a bet.

Although he was confident, James’ opponent was Jeffery’s Inner Disciple, Hayden, who had been in

the Welkin Academy for a hundred years.

Hayden was terrifyingly strong. At that moment, he was slightly hesitant to accept the bet.

He would have to slap himself if he accepted the bet and lost, which was very embarrassing Jeffery

said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Well, it’s only reasonable for you to be since James

would never be able to withstand three moves from Hayden.”

“Alright, let’s do it.”

Yoan gritted his teeth and accepted the bet

He believed in James.

Since James dared to agree, he must have had the confidence to win.

The other elders smiled and did not say much.

At the United Alliance’s mountain foot, the spectating disciples stepped back and cleared up an open

space.

Extremely strong energy erupted from Hayden’s body, and it formed a magnetic field. Everyone in the

area felt pressure sweeping toward them. Meanwhile, James was right in the center of the magnetic

field. He stood rooted in the ground, like a motionless mountain.

“I don’t want you to say I’m bullying you, Hayden. I have to withstand three moves from you, right? I’ll

just stand here, and you can attack me, Go ahead. Strike.”

Hearing James’ words, the audience was shocked.

“James must be mad.”

“He’s not just mad. He’s conceited! Even a powerhouse of the same rank as Hayden would not dare

make such an arrogant remark. Yet, he says he’ll stay in place for Hayden to attack him?” “He definitely

has a death wish.”

Everyone felt that James was simply courting death. It would already be a miracle if he could withstand

three moves from Hayden, yet he also wanted to stand in place. He was definitely asking for it.

“Haha. Since you want to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish.” Hayden laughed out loud.

He thrust his palm forward, and powerful energy gathered in his hand. He took a step forward,

appearing right in front of James. Then, his palm struck James’ body.

James felt a powerful force permeating his body, making him feel numb.

Apart from that, he felt completely fine.

He did not even take a step back.

James patted his chest where he was struck, then calmly said, “Is that all you have?”

Hayden was shocked. He was slightly worried about really killing James and did not use all of his

strength. His attack contained only half of his strength, but he did not expect James to be unscathed.
